You love being a mother, but you thought it would be different. The exhaustion and loneliness, the guilt and the disappointment, are not what you expected. Maybe you feel intense fear, anxiety, or anger around your mothering experience. Or maybe you are tearful and emotional all the time and you don't know why. I can help. There is a way to create a life that honors your individual hopes and dreams while also allowing you to be a loving, tuned in mother.

I help girls, women, and mothers move through the times of their life that feel overwhelming and scary so they live their most vibrant, authentic, joyful lives.

My work involves a deep personal commitment to growing through grief. Specifically, I've developed a short-term therapeutic intervention intended to diminish suffering by expanding stories. It can be experienced independent of, or in collaboration with, ongoing individual psychotherapy. Whatever your losses, sustained or on the horizon, the meaning you make of them requires a capacity to create that, often elusive, 'new normal'. Through a brief process ( 6-12 sessions) we will engage in a collaborative effort to explore new perspectives, aiming to reveal the stories your loss has yet to tell. Ultimately, we will formulate our understandings through a concrete, creative project that memorializes what we discover. I believe that it is not suffering, but meaningless suffering, that defeat us...We can use our suffering to move us forward.
